Virtual Dyslexia Therapy with Hoover Learning Group Builds Strong Literacy Foundations Anywhere

For students with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences, meaningful progress requires instruction that is explicit, structured, multisensory, and sustained over time. At Hoover Learning Group, this belief shapes every aspect of how we support students and families, including our online dyslexia therapy options.

The Hoover Method is a comprehensive approach to dyslexia therapy and academic support that combines science-based instruction, expert-led intervention, and long-term consistency. Through multi-sensory dyslexia therapy tutoring delivered by Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs), students receive targeted instruction using Take Flight, an Orton-Gillingham–based curriculum proven to strengthen literacy skills when implemented with fidelity.

Whether students are learning from a hybrid in-person and virtual model, or fully virtual from anywhere nationwide, Hoover Learning Group delivers the same high-quality instruction online ensuring accessibility without compromising effectiveness.

The Hoover Method: A Structured, Research-Based Approach to Dyslexia Therapy

The Hoover Method is built on decades of research into how students with dyslexia learn to read. Rather than relying on compensatory strategies or short-term interventions, this method focuses on remediating the root causes of reading difficulties.

Key elements of the Hoover Method include:

• Explicit, systematic instruction

• Diagnostic teaching tailored to each learner

• Multi-sensory engagement to reinforce learning

• Ongoing assessment and mastery-based progression

• Long-term consistency and reinforcement
  

  This approach ensures that students are not rushed through skills but are given the time and support needed to build strong, durable literacy foundations.

Take Flight: The Foundation of Hoover’s Dyslexia Therapy Model

At the core of the Hoover Method is Take Flight, a structured literacy curriculum grounded in Orton-Gillingham principles and developed by the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders.

Take Flight is specifically designed for students with dyslexia and provides:

• Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness

• Systematic teaching of sound-symbol relationships

• Structured decoding and encoding practice

• Direct instruction in spelling, fluency, and comprehension

• Cumulative lessons that reinforce previously learned skills
  
  When delivered by trained specialists, Take Flight significantly improves literacy by addressing how the brain processes language, leading to meaningful and measurable growth in reading and written expression.

Why Multisensory Instruction Is Critical for Dyslexic Learners

Hoover Learning Group offers multi-sensory dyslexia therapy tutoring, an essential component of effective Orton-Gillingham–based instruction.

Multisensory learning engages:

• Visual pathways (seeing letters and patterns)

• Auditory pathways (hearing sounds and language)

• Kinesthetic and tactile pathways (movement, writing, and hands-on practice)

This integrated approach strengthens neural connections and improves retention, helping students internalize skills rather than memorize them temporarily. Multisensory instruction is especially effective in a virtual setting when guided by experienced CALTs who know how to adapt techniques for online delivery.

The Role of Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs)

While curriculum matters, expert instruction is the true differentiator. Hoover Learning Group’s dyslexia therapy tutoring is led by Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs) and trained practitioners who specialize in structured literacy and dyslexia intervention.

CALTs:

• Use diagnostic teaching to identify individual needs

• Adjust pacing, repetition, and reinforcement

• Monitor progress continuously

• Ensure mastery before advancing instruction

• Support skill transfer beyond therapy sessions

This level of expertise ensures instruction remains responsive, individualized, and effective—whether delivered in person or virtually.

Why Consistent Intervention Over 12–24 Months Drives Real Growth

Research and experience both show that dyslexia intervention requires time. Hoover Learning Group students experience significant growth when consistent, structured intervention is practiced over 12 to 24 months.

This multi-year approach allows students to:

• Develop automaticity in foundational reading skills

• Build confidence through steady, measurable progress

• Internalize strategies rather than rely on prompts

• Strengthen both academic skills and emotional resilience

Short-term or inconsistent intervention often leads to gaps and regression. The Hoover Method prioritizes continuity and consistency to support lasting outcomes.

Virtual Delivery Without Compromising Quality or Consistency

• Consistent instruction without travel disruptions

Beyond Literacy: Building Independent, Confident Learners

The Hoover Method goes beyond improving reading and spelling. As students progress, they also develop:

• Stronger executive functioning skills

• Improved academic confidence

• Greater self-advocacy and independence

• Strategies that transfer across subjects and grade levels
  

This holistic focus ensures students are not only learning to read, but learning how to learn.
